A confusing number is a number that when rotated 180 degrees becomes a different number with each digit valid.
We can rotate digits of a number by 180 degrees to form new digits.
When 0, 1, 6, 8, and 9 are rotated 180 degrees, they become 0, 1, 9, 8, and 6 respectively.
When 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 are rotated 180 degrees, they become invalid.
Note that after rotating a number, we can ignore leading zeros.
For example, after rotating 8000, we have 0008 which is considered as just 8.
Given an integer n, return the number of confusing numbers in the inclusive range [1, n].
Example 1:
Input: n = 20
Output: 6
Explanation: The confusing numbers are [6,9,10,16,18,19].
6 converts to 9.
9 converts to 6.
10 converts to 01 which is just 1.
16 converts to 91.
18 converts to 81.
19 converts to 61.
Example 2:
Input: n = 100
Output: 19
Explanation: The confusing numbers are [6,9,10,16,18,19,60,61,66,68,80,81,86,89,90,91,98,99,100].
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 109

Thinking
Count confusing numbers in \([1,n]\) for \(n\le 10^9\). Only digits \(0,1,6,8,9\) survive a rotation, so we build valid numbers digit by digit and then test the rotation.
Digit DFS from the high end enumerates mapped digits under the bound of \(n\). At a complete number we reuse the rotation check from problem \(1056\).
The table \(d\) is used both while filling and inside check; leading zeros are just the integer \(0\).
